Abstract
A bill acceptor system for accepting bills, vouchers, scrip, tickets and/or currency into an electronic gaming machine or alternative type of customer service device. The system includes a validator assembly capable of identifying acceptable notes and discriminating between currency and non-currency notes. The system also includes a transport assembly for transporting notes from the validator to a dual section cash box. The dual section cash box is configured to receive and hold notes received from the bill acceptor in different compartments.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a currency and ticket validator apparatus that can automatically separate currency from non-currency and store each in a separate compartment of a dual section cash box for intended use in electronic gaming machines, vending machines and the like.
- 2. General Background and State of the Art
- In the early 1990's there was a fundamental change in the performance and capability of gaming machines initiated by the incorporation of bill acceptors into such machines. Bill acceptors are devices which receive paper currency (“currency”) and, using a validator having both hardware and software components, the received currency is scanned with a variety of sensors and the sensor information is analyzed to determine (1) authenticity and (2) denomination of the currency from the scanned data. If the scanned currency is determined to be authentic currency, e.g. a United States $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 bill or other legal tender currency, it is transported to a cash box within the bill acceptor for storage.
- Based upon the denomination of the accepted currency, a signal is sent from the validator to the host machine's controller or processor to cause the machine to accumulate a corresponding amount of credits within the machine's credit meter representing the cash value or credits available for purchasing products or wagering, in the case of a gaming machine. As the user purchases products from or plays the machine, the purchase price or wager is debited from the credit meter. In the case of a gaming machine, wins are either accumulated as credits or paid out in coins. Acceptors of this type are known and are discussed for example in U.S. Pat. No. 5,863,039 issued Jan. 26, 1999 to Suzuki.
- Until recently, gaming machines paid out all winnings in coins. This disadvantaged both the player and the casino. First, if the hopper did not have enough coins to pay out the winnings, the machine locked up and remained so until an authorized person reset it. This reduced the amount of time that a machine was in play, resulting in lost business to the casino. Second, the player had to wait for the casino to reset the machine and manually “hand-pay” the player the winnings before the player could start playing on that machine again. Addressing both concerns, a second generation bill acceptor has been developed which can store paper currency and can function as a “recycler” of currency, accepting any type of currency from a customer and returning for payouts a selected denomination of currency to the customer. Machines using these new validators can pay out larger winnings in combinations of paper currency and coins without locking up and requiring a hand-pay. However, not all casinos have chosen to utilize the recycling feature of these new bill acceptors in all of their machines. To achieve similar goals, some casinos are contemplating the use of non-currency tickets unique to the casino.
- Casinos are introducing such tickets or coupons to increase the retention rates and make the machines more self-sufficient. The tickets substitute as cash within the casino and on most other gaming machines in that casino. When a player wins a large sum of money, the machine will return tickets printed in various denominations, supplemented by coins, to equal the amount of winnings. The player can exchange the ticket for cash at a cashier's window or use the ticket in other machines in that casino. Because the gaming machines may also be able to print the tickets if necessary, the need for human resources is further limited. Casinos have benefitted from increased player retention as a result of the use of non-currency tickets.
- Casinos that use these tickets, however, are facing problems integrating the tickets into their current counting systems. Generally, gaming machines store the valid tickets along with the valid paper currency in a single hopper or note box. As needed, casino staff will replace the note box filled with tickets and currency with an empty note box. The filled note box is taken to a counting room where the note box's contents are counted and sorted. The cash counting and sorting equipment in the counting rooms are limited to counting and sorting a maximum of six different “notes.” This limits, for example, the counting machine to separately stacking the $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills. Tickets, a seventh type of note accepted by the second generation types of validators, are thus counted and sorted as “suspect notes” by the sorting equipment. In general, a “suspect notes” classification was created primarily to separate out counterfeit currency. Because the sorting machines are not designed to handle a large volume of suspect notes, the suspect notes bin of the counting machine was made comparatively small. As a result, when tickets are incorporated as an accepted currency, the suspect notes bin fills up very quickly. This slows down the reconciliation process.
- Accordingly, a system allowing continuous play and rapid counting and sorting would be beneficial to the gaming industry. A change in the method of ticket collection and sorting in the gaming machine would ensure that the operations in the counting and sorting room are not affected. Other devices such as vending machines and pay-point service stations having bill and ticket acceptors can suffer the same problems of increased cost to manually separate out the tickets from the currency when the money in the note box is counted and separated. All these devices could benefit from an improved separator mechanism within the validator assembly and a dual storage note and ticket hopper system.
- The above described and many other features and attendant advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- The present invention is directed to a bill acceptor and a method for its operation. Due to the expansion of the types of acceptable paper which are accepted by the bill acceptor placed in gaming machines, bills, vouchers, script, tickets, and currency will be hereinafter collectively referred to as “notes.” The bill acceptor of the present invention is adapted to provide for a more efficient way to integrate non-currency notes, such as tickets, bills, vouchers and script (collectively “tickets”) into the circulation of currency. The bill acceptor discriminates tickets from currency and then directs the currency and the tickets to different hoppers which can be accommodated by the counters and sorters in the counting rooms of a casino or other establishment. Accordingly, a bill acceptor system for accepting and separating tickets and currency in an electronic gaming machine or alternative type of customer service device is set forth which includes a validator assembly to be mounted in or on the machine, the validator assembly having a currency and ticket discriminator to sense the authenticity, denomination, amount and type of the currency or ticket passing through and issue a signal corresponding to the currency or ticket type to the transportation assembly. The transportation assembly contains a deflector that can move into one of at least two positions depending on the signal received. A cash box with two sections is provided to receive deposited currency and tickets into either the bill hopper or the ticket hopper.
- When a player inserts a note into a bill acceptor of the present invention, the discriminator determines whether the note is a ticket or currency. The discriminator sends a signal to both the interface with the machine for the accumulation of a corresponding amount of credits and to the transportation assembly to guide the note into the proper hopper. Upon receiving the signal, the drive mechanism in the transportation assembly switches the deflector into the proper position, depending on whether the validator received currency or a ticket. In a first embodiment, the deflector has two positions that can guide the note into either the bill hopper or the ticket hopper. Once the note is inside either hopper, a spring loaded mechanism keeps all notes tightly pressed against one another to allow an orderly and efficient stacking of the notes.
- The above described and many other features and attendant advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- A detailed description of the invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a bill acceptor including a validator assembly and a dual section cash box according to the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the validator assembly portion of the bill acceptor of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a dual section cash box with a bill hopper and a ticket hopper for the bill acceptor of FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the flow and direction of an accepted note or ticket through the validator and into the cash box.
- FIG. 1 shows a
bill acceptor 10 with avalidator assembly 12 and a dualsection cash box 18 according to the present invention. Thevalidator assembly 12 contains anote discriminator 14 and a transportation assembly 16. The present exemplary embodiment of thebill acceptor 10 is for casino gaming machines, such as slot machines, video slot or poker machines, video keno machines and the like. The present invention can also be used in vending machines and pay point machines, where customers have the option to pay with a combination of currency and tickets. For purposes of detailing the invention, the description herein is tailored to the application of the invention in a gaming machine. - Casinos are introducing tickets into circulation as a substitute for currency within the casino. The tickets should be acceptable to the
note discriminator 14 of gaming machines to allow a player to obtain credits on various gaming machines without the use or transfer of paper currency. To ensure that the introduction of tickets does not interfere with the currency counting and sorting functions conducted in the counting rooms, the gaming machines having thebill acceptor 10 are able to both validate tickets and currency and separate the tickets from the currency. - As illustrated in FIG. 2, the
bill acceptor 10 is intended to sequentially receive anote 11, which can be either a ticket or a bill, into thenote discriminator 14 to initiate play of the gaming machine (not shown). Thenote discriminator 14 scans eachnote 11 inserted into an opening 24 of thenote discriminator 14 to determine the authenticity, type (legal tender or ticket), denomination and condition (whether the note is worn) of thenote 11. Once thenote 11 is inserted into the opening 24 of thenote discriminator 14,rollers note 11 into thenote discriminator 14. Thenrollers rollers note 11 past various sensors (not shown) to examine and validate thenote 11. As thenote 11 is captured and transported past the optical and magnetic sensors, the sensors typically sense light reflected by and/or transmitted through thenote 11, reflectivity and transmission patterns, size of thenote 11 and the magnetic characteristics of the insertednote 11. - Inside the
note discriminator 14, the sensors provide signals to a circuit board mountedvalidator processor 38 which is also connected to the processor of the gaming machine. In addition, thevalidator processor 38 has various processing capabilities which are known in the art. The various sensors output sensed data output signals, which are compared by thevalidator processor 38 to stored data representative of the range of sensor readings corresponding to authentic notes. A note is determined valid and authentic based on the comparison with the stored data for authentic notes. If the note is not determined valid, the drive assembly of thenote discriminator 14 is reversed and the note is ejected through the opening 24 to the customer. If thenote 11 is determined valid, it is passed through thenote discriminator 14 and directed to the transportation assembly 16. Upon receipt of anote 11 and determination of validity, a signal is sent to the host or gaming machine processor (not shown) signifying receipt as well as the denomination of the note for accumulation of a like value amount of credits in the gaming machine for gaming. - The transportation assembly16 and the
note discriminator 14 are electrically connected so that thenote discriminator 14 can instruct the transportation assembly 16 to operate to transport thenote 11. The transportation assembly 16 can direct the note into either abill hopper 20 or aticket hopper 22 of the dualsection cash box 18. The transportation assembly 16 includes adeflector 52, controlled by thenote discriminator 14, to select which hopper is appropriate. - As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, if the
note 11 meets all of the validation criteria, thenote 11 proceeds to adrive belt 40 of the transportation assembly 16. Thenote 11, due to frictional forces, stays on thedrive belt 40 throughrollers drive belt 40 and adrive belt 46. Thedrive belt 40 and thedrive belt 46 tangentially touch one another along anidler wheel 54. Thenote 11 has, so far, followed apath 60 from the opening 24 to the transportation assembly 16. Thenote 11 then enters a meeting point of thedrive belt 40 and thedrive belt 46 before thenote 11 is deflected by adeflector 52. Thedeflector 52 selectively directs thenote 11 from thepath 60 onto either apath 62 or apath 64. Thepath 62 leads to thebill hopper 20, whereas thepath 64 terminates in theticket hopper 22. - A decision by the
note discriminator 14 that thenote 11 is a valid ticket will cause thedeflector 52 to move into a closed position 56a. Thedeflector 52 will peel thenote 11 from thedrive belt 20 and send thenote 11 along thedrive belt 46, wherein thenote 11 will follow thepath 64 as seen in FIG. 4. Thenote 11 will travel along thedrive belt 46 and pass aroller 50 from which thenote 11 is guided into theticket hopper 22. If thenote discriminator 14 decides thenote 11 is valid currency, thedeflector 52 will remain in an open position 56b, wherein thenote 11 will continue along thedrive belt 46 on thepath 62. Thenote 11 will first travel horizontally and then vertically down on thepath 62 until thenote 11 is directed past aroller 68 and into thebill hopper 20, as illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. - As depicted in FIG. 3, the
note 11, if it is currency, enters thebill hopper 20 throughrollers cash box 18 can be used for currency, but thenote discriminator 14 and the transportation assembly 16 have to be programmed accordingly. FIG. 3 shows one embodiment, wherein thebill hopper 20 is situated on the front side of thecash box 18 proximate the handle 72 and theticket hopper 22 is on the rear side of thecash box 18. - To store the
note 11 in thebill hopper 20, thenote 11 is guided into aplacer area 108 created betweenplates placer area 108 until it is moved into astacker area 78. Once thenote 11 is within theplacer area 108, adrive wheel 84 andcantilever arm 88 operate to pushplate 86 through an opening (not shown) inplate 76, which transports the bill from theplacer area 108 into thestacker area 78. As the number of bills in thestacker area 78 increases, theplate 76 pushes the stacked notes against aplate 74 and againstsprings 70 to create additional storage space.Springs 70 are connected to thecash box 18 on one end and to theplate 74 on the other end. - The
ticket hopper 22 works in an identical manner as thebill hopper 20. Thenote 11, if deemed a ticket, is directed byrollers placer area 106, where the ticket is held until it is moved into astacker area 96. Once a ticket is within theplacer area 106, a drive wheel 90 and cantilever arm 94 push aplate 100 through an opening (not shown) in aplate 102. This forces the ticket in theplacer area 106 into thestacker area 96. The stacked tickets and theplate 104 move away from theplate 102 to accommodate the new ticket, and theplate 104 pushes back onsprings 70 to create additional storage space.Springs 110 are connected to thecash box 18 on one end and to theplate 104 on the other end. - To remove and transport the
cash box 18 from its position in FIG. 1, an authorized person must first unlock thecash box 18 and then pull on a handle 72. To allow for secure removal, thecash box 18 should preferably have a secure lid enclosing thecash box 18 with two slits big enough for notes to enter each hopper. This lid should have a second locking mechanism so that access to the contents can be controlled and limited to those with proper authorization. After a filledcash box 18 is removed, anempty cash box 18 can be put into its former position. Thebill acceptor 10 may include sensors and mechanisms to recognize whether thereplacement cash box 18 has been preauthorized to accept currency and tickets. This security feature ensures that only authorized cash boxes with the proper security mechanisms are being used. - The filled
cash box 18 is then taken to the counting room after thecash box 18 has been removed from the gaming machine. Thecash box 18 may also have flash memory that can store exactly how many notes entered thecash box 18 while thecash box 18 was in use inside the gaming machine. When thecash box 18 is emptied into the counting and sorting machine, the information in the flash memory should be downloaded to a computer and compared with the actual number of notes that exited from thecash box 18 into the counting and sorting machines. This redundant system will help ensure accuracy in the counting process. - As can be appreciated, the dual section cash box note and ticket validator and the method of the present invention provide several benefits. One benefit is that it increases the efficiency of the counting and sorting functions carried on in the counting rooms to keep accurate accounts of the money flowing in and out of the individual gaming machines. Whereas in previous devices the cashbox stacked tickets with currency, the tickets are now stored in a separate compartment, allowing easy separation of the tickets. Another advantage is that casinos can easily increase the number of tickets in their circulation of currency without slowing down any other function, which in turn decreases the amount of cash transported into and out of the casino floor. As another advantage, the cash box can be configured to hold all tickets or all currency. In addition, the casino can alter which compartment holds tickets and which one holds currency.
- The present invention can also be used for various vending machines where tickets are available in lieu of currency. For example, at a theme park, a customer could purchase tickets using a credit card and use the tickets in vending machines in the park. This would save the customer the many surcharges and dangers often associated with withdrawing and carrying currency from ATM machines.
- As an example of an alternative embodiment of the contemplated invention which would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art following review of the foregoing detailed description, the stacking of the notes can be changed to accommodate varying usages of tickets and currency. In the present embodiment, notes enter vertically into the
placer areas - Having thus described different embodiments of the invention, other variations and embodiments that do not depart from the spirit of the invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The scope of the present invention is thus not limited to any one particular embodiment, but is instead set forth in the appended claims and the legal equivalents thereof.
